General : American Icon Frank Frazetta Passes Away at 82

If you do not know who Frank Frazetta is, it will not take long to learn about him. He was an American artist best known for his depictions of Conan The Barbarian. For some, Frank’s work was as much a part of Conan as Robert E. Howards writing. His other major character, The Death Dealer has remained a classic fantasy image for several generations now. His work in comics and book covers remains some of the most memorable and thousands of artists were influenced by him. It is a sad day to see such talent leave this world.

 

Tuesday Morning Post: Levee’s gonna break edition

Happy Tuesday Morning, everyone! As you’re probably aware, the family and friends alpha test of Cataclysm went up early last week. While there’s still a Non-Disclosure Agreement on the whole thing, that hasn’t stopped a lot of enterprising people from getting their hands on the client and disseminating all manner of information to the WoW community at large. I wouldn’t say the leaks are coming out in a torrent quite yet, but there’s still some pretty juicy stuff if you know where to find it.

Music Monday Featuring “Electric” by Jason Eawald

I was thinking that maybe on Monday’s I’d participate in my own version of the Twitter Hashtag #MM or #MusicMonday.  Why not right? Everyone likes a bit of music in their day right?

Today on Music Monday I have a video by one of my favorite new artists, Jason Eawald.  Filmed at a club in New York City he performs Electric.  Following the in the same vain of Bore Me, Electric has a great blues rift with enough funk to keep your foot tapping.  And before long you’ll find yourself starting to sing “It’s Electric.. It’s Electric… It’s Electric..” along with Jason.


15 Minutes of Fame: The Guild’s Michele Boyd

You probably know Michele Boyd as “Riley” of The Guild, the so-called “stupid tall hot girl” who’s into FPS and is a ranked Halo player. Now, get to know Michele as a WoW player and gamer in her own right. Does she game with her cast-mates from The Guild? What’s she playing right now? What about work? After all that, does she ever feel “gamed” out? WoW.com‘s 15 Minutes of Fame gives you an inside view with this exclusive interview with Michele, chatting about how she blends The Guild (the show) with her guild (in game).


EVE Online: PLEX Contest Update!

Recently it was brought to our attention that our contest for EVE plex was incorrectly showing that a prize of 1 PLEX was valued at $35 – instead of $17.50. We have contacted CCP and have been authorized to increase the prizes to a pack of 2 PLEX! All the more reasons to enter to win now! Also note that the contest page previously stated winners would need to provide their account name – this has also been update to reflect that it is your “character” name that is required to get your prize


Seeing Double

Anyone else notice something peculiar lately?

I first noticed it in Dalaran, where the Flight Master at Krasus Landing had a doppelganger standing right next to him.  Or, more correctly, exactly where he was standing, noticeable only when one moved and the other didn’t.

Or, as in the case of the Goblins below, one jumped out and the other stood still..

Warcraft 3 + Frozen Throne + Dota + Warhazard (Portable)

THE GAME IS WORKING 100% IN SINGLE PLAYER MODE BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO BATTLENET! I DON’T KNOW ABOUT GARENA, HAVEN’T TESTED IT…

Reign of Chaos summary,
The game will be focused on groups of noble warriors supporting mighty, Legendary Heroes, each of whom can advance and become more powerful as the game progresses. These Heroes are the central focus of the single-player game. Four linked campaigns – featuring the Humans, Undead, Orcs and Night Elves – together form the story of the day the sky rained fire and war once again swept the battered lands of Azeroth. Players first take the role of Arthas, Paladin and crown prince of Lordaeron, as he investigates an uprising of Orcs and rumors of a plague sweeping the northern end of the kingdom. As the single-player game advances, the story moves on to other races, with each campaign picking up where the previous one left off. Heroes of other races appear throughout the campaigns, many times as allies, yet other times as enemies. “It’s very exciting to return to the Warcraft series,” stated Mike Morhaime, president and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished with this game and we look forward to welcoming a new generation of gamers to Blizzard’s first PC game world.” Warcraft III immerses players in a compelling, dynamic 3D world of incredible depth and detail. Daunting monsters roam a landscape filled with neutral towns, strongholds, and temples, while stunning environmental effects bring the world to life. The game includes a robust campaign editor for creating custom 3D maps and unique missions, with scripts for units, spells, and action-packed events.

Apple iPad Running World of Warcraft

David Perry, founder of Shiny Entertainment, uploaded this image of World of Warcraft running on an Apple iPad, or is it? Unfortunately, it’s just a “prototype version of his browser-based streaming service working on an iPad.” Video after the break.

“All iPad inputs are streamed through a translation system to the server, so we can re-map anything to anything in real-time. We hide a virtual keyboard off to the side, so you can type as well (like to login).”

The headbangin’ source of the Twitter exploit

This one just makes me smile.

The infamous Twitter exploit that made it possible to force people to follow you wasn’t the work of nefarious hackers in Russia or Eastern Europe, it was simply a metalhead speaking in Internet slang.

It started when a Turkish fan issued a blog post (here in Turkish. Google Translate does a reasonable job) on a strange bug he’d found on Twitter. He meant to write “accept pwnz,” a reference to the long-running German metal band Accept, and to his surprise, found that @pwnz was following him.
